Reading about a guy who did a blindfold test between expensive Monster Audio Cables and coat hangers!

… an experiment on him and four other audio aficionados listening to a new CD from a new group blindfolded. Seven different songs were played, each time heard with the speaker hooked up to Monster Cables, and the other time, hooked up to coat hanger wire. Nobody could determine which was the Monster Cable and which was the coat hanger. The kicker? None of the subjects even knew that coat hangers were going to be used.

My favorite quote, from the comments:

Specs and statistics are like bikinis. What they show is very interesting, but what they hide is vital!!

So true, so very true.
